ripping up floors is super fun!

Monday, November 26th, 2007

This past weekend my brother and I spent most of Saturday ripping up all the K3 underlay that was under all the old lino in my place. Luckily the K3 wasn’t glued down (it was only nailed) but it was still a lot of work to tear up. The majority of the work […]

dishwasher!

Monday, November 26th, 2007

So I now have a new dishwasher on its way. Sears.ca had a sale on a few weekends ago for $400 off a Kenmore Elite dishwasher, turns out that it is actually made by Bosch so it is a fairly good machine. I missed the sale on the weekend but I called and […]

I thought I would share with you all my wake up call story from this morning.

Tuesday, November 22nd, 2005

So I had another adventure in plumbing this weekend. I noticed that my toilet shutoff valve was leaking (just a slow drip) so I made my way to home depot looking for a new washer. In the plumbing section a home depot employee came up to me asking if I needed anything. […]

So around a month ago I ran a red light. By ran I mean I drove through it at around 15kph while there was a police car stop at the light. I just didn’t see it however my passenger at the time let me know exactly what I did so I pulled over […]

my past life as a plumber?

Sunday, November 13th, 2005

So this weekend I finally decided to get myself a garborator. They make cleanup when making food (or juice) so much easier. So instead of waiting for a plumber to install it, Jesse and I installed it this weekend. (Click for larger pics)

My double sinks, the pipes didn’t even have a clue […]
